We have stayed here several years before. The décor has changed somewhat but everything was quite comfortable and easily accessible. It was especially nice to have a walk-in shower (I am handicapped). I wouldn't mind renting this unit again next year.
I have been staying at the Surf Dweller for the past 15 years and like most units.

The condo was beautiful and very spacious! few minor things like chain on fan not working and towel holder very loose, that was fixed fast! LOVED LOVED LOVED the balcony! the main thing I didn't like was the location of the pool! I'm at the beach and I
would like to see the beach while I'm laying out, also my mother is elderly and needs to use a walker so it would have been easier for her to enjoy the view if the pool would have been on the gulf side! I know I chose this place! lol

Our week at Okaloosa Island was the most relaxing vacation we have experienced in years. The beach is absolutely wonderful. We are used to going to Myrtle Beach, but I have to say that Okaloosa Island beach is so much better. It's not only beautiful, it
is also very quiet and relaxing. But, on the other side of that, just 10 minutes down the road, in Destin, are all the restaurants and shopping and activities you could want. The Surf Dweller condo we used was very neat and clean, which is a must for us. We
have stayed in many VRBO condo's, but this is by far the best. We loved watching the dolphins each morning while having breakfast on the balcony. The Dolphin Cruise was terrific. We are so looking forward to going back.

The layout, furnishings, overall appearance and maintenance was very good. The few small issues we had were: A kitchen sink faucet handle that broke on the next to last day; wireless router that never worked which limited the quality of internet connection
(big issue because I'm a pilot and needed it to maintain a watch on the weather and file a flight plan). I also saw a large roach the morning of our departure in the kitchen bar area. I realize insects are a big problem in FL, but that's not something you
want to see !! Overall I feel those are issues very easy to overcome and we'd stay there again.

We ended up carrying them all the way home in our car to Wisconsin. This is a beautiful unit and it was a very comfortable, relaxing stay.

electronics.
I would recomment this rental to anyone

The Condo was clean and delightfully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the ditchen was well supplied with dishes and utensils. The view was great and the price reasonable. We are hoping to visit again next year.

We called about the deadbolt not working and was told: "Someone will be over" and no one ever came. We would have felt more secure if the deadbolt worked and the sliding doors to the balcony would lock. The place was generally clean, but there was a large
amount of dust on the fan blades. The fan in the master bedroom was very loud and we decided not to use it at night. It was thoughtful of the owners to provide books to read and VCRs. We were generally happy with the unit, and besides the above would probably
re-book in the future.

The Surf Dweller is a great property, however number 502 was not so great. The beds were extremely hard. I had to go get 2 foam toppers in order to sleep. There were too many breakable decorations for my kids to get into. The good things were that, every
cooking item you would ever need was there as well as many movies and games. I love Brooks and Shorey and will recommend them and use them again, but not this unit.
